if mid-term elections and the next presidential election are cancelled then i'll call it authoritarian. Until then you're just trolling.

Trolling? They were stating facts.

We might get a peak much sooner if the supreme court shoots down his tariffs.

So Putin isn't authoritarian because he stages elections. And you require two _cancelled_ elections before declaring someone authoritarian?

Reminder that Trump declared Zelensky a dictator for following his country's established democratic process.
